England - video

It became a unified state in 927 and takes its name from the Angles, one of the Germanic tribes who settled there during the 5th and 6th centuries. The capital of England is the largest city in the country and the largest city in the UK.

England is one of the world's most influential and far-reaching centers of cultural development. It is the place of origin of the English language and the Church of England and English law, which forms the basis of the legal systems of many countries; moreover, London was the capital of the British Empire, and England was the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution. England was the first country in the world to become industrialized. England is the home of the Royal Society, which laid the foundations of modern experimental science. Also, this country was the world's first modern Parliamentary democracy and, consequently, many constitutional, state and legal innovations that originated in England were widely adopted by other states.

Landmarks of England

One of the main attractions in england is Tower of London. The attraction is a fortress located on the north bank of the Thames, it is also the historical center of London. In addition, the Tower of London is one of the oldest buildings in the country. Throughout its long history (it was built in 1078!) The Tower was both a fortress and a palace, it housed both a repository of royal jewels and a mint, it even housed a zoo and a prison! But, undoubtedly, in any historical period, the Tower of London was a place of huge concentration of tourists.

Buckingham Palace is the official residence of the British monarchs, in which Queen Elizabeth II lives today. In addition, it is also the main palace of the country. The history of Buckingham Palace begins in 1703, when it began to be built as Buckingham House for the Duke of Buckingham. In 1762, after the acquisition of the palace by King George III, architects worked hard on it, who completed three more similar buildings to the main building. In 1837, when Queen Victoria came to the throne, the palace was officially declared the main residence of the British monarchs. Since then, monarchs have lived here, and the daily changing of the guard ceremony (which takes place at 11:30) attracts a huge number of tourists.

Royal Theater (Theater Royal) on Drury Lane, is one of the oldest theaters in London. It was opened in 1663. The king himself was present at the opening of the theater, which is why it was called the Royal. Today, most people call it Drury Lane, after the name of the street where the theater stands.

The majestic Cathedral of York - York Minster (York Minster)- the largest monument of Gothic architecture in Europe. The cathedral was built for a long time - from the XIII to the XV century. Therefore, signs of various styles are visible in his appearance, which, however, does not affect his integral harmony in any way.

One more Landmark of England is Yorkshire Dales National Park (Yorkshire Dales) located in Northern England. Its wild, in a certain, even harsh romance of the hilly area, its fortresses and abandoned monasteries, as if created for numerous long walks. These places are famous thanks to a movie filmed in Yorkshire Dale.

1. The English are famous throughout the world for their politeness and scrupulous observance of all the rules of etiquette. If you want to look well-mannered in the eyes of the English, you should definitely use the words "please" and "sorry" as soon as the opportunity arises.

2. When visiting English bars and pubs, you need to know that it is customary to pay for an order right away. As soon as you take a drink (or something else), you must immediately pay for it. If you want extras, pay again.

3. It is worth considering that in England it is customary to leave a tip (in hotels, restaurants, cafes, taxis, etc.). Often, the tip is 10% of the bill.

4. If you are a big fan of shopping, then it will be useful for you to know that in June and the end of December (after Christmas) the most significant sales take place in England.

5. Mains voltage in England is 240 watts, so be very careful with your electrical appliances.

6. While in England, do not forget that in this country there is left-hand traffic.

You rarely meet a person on earth who has not heard anything about England. Every self-respecting tourist should visit this state in order to fall in love with its rich history and feel its traditions. Today you have the opportunity to learn about rare facts in England.

1. In Britain, pigs are not castrated, so it's better not to buy pork or order it in restaurants, but if the smell and taste of boar urine in meat is normal for you, then you can. The British are very fond of bacon for breakfast and in the mornings a specific stench spreads from the food. I once tried to talk to the supermarket managers, I thought maybe there was some kind of identification system on the packages, but they didn’t even understand what I was talking about and why to castrate the pigs. But there is a lot of halal meat, it surprises me that none of the green and other eco animal lovers almost protests against, because the slaughter of animals according to Muslim traditions is very cruel.

2. In England, there is almost no national cuisine, or rather, it seems to be, but it is quite primitive and, frankly, tasteless. Probably the worst in Europe. I will write more about English cuisine

3. England has the highest obesity rate in Europe

4. The British really drink a lot of tea, a cup of tea is such a ritual in the culture of communication, and a panacea for all ills. It's a paradox, but good loose tea is rare in large supermarkets, you have to order it in special stores. Everyone drinks packaged.

5. School uniform is compulsory for all students. In most state schools, it is the same, but private schools adhere to different

6. Public school is actually a private school, and free school is a state school. Students refers to all students, both schoolchildren and university students. The word pupil in the meaning of "student" is practically not used. The word school can also mean a university, such as law school or medical school

7. Parents may be subject to criminal liability for absenteeism of schoolchildren

8. Children go to school from the age of five and compulsory education lasts until 16. To enter the university, you still need to study an additional year or two

9. Corporal punishment in public schools was only abolished in 1987. In private schools - in 1999. In Scotland and Ireland and even later.

10. A private elite school is actually a bursa boarding school. A very tough establishment.

11. London has no more rainfall than Moscow, if not less. And fogs are rare here. However, rain can come suddenly, but usually does not last long. Rain for the whole day is a rarity. If, according to the weather forecast, rain is promised, then it will always go from one to two in the afternoon or from 5 to 7 in the evening, exactly at the time when the lunch break is, or you have to go home from work. The law of meanness works constantly

12. It rarely snows in England in winter. If one centimeter of snow fell, then this is a whole event. Cities rise, transport does not work, planes do not fly, everyone runs to sculpt shabby snowmen and ride slides on air mattresses. Public utilities almost do not keep snowplows, apparently it’s cheaper to suffer multimillion-dollar losses every year than to maintain equipment .... what will they do if the Germans attack

13. The British are hardened from childhood. It is not customary to wrap children from head to toe and it is generally not customary to dress according to the season. The climate is quite mild, but because of the humidity, the zero temperature in winter seems like everything is minus 10 in Russia. In winter, you can see people in the same T-shirts or ballet flats on their bare feet. Everyone saves on heating, so whether you like it or not, they will temper it like steel from childhood.

14. The British love animals very much. You will not meet homeless cats and dogs on the streets. This issue has long been resolved.

15. The Society for the Protection of Animals from Cruelty was established in England in 1824 and has the status of a royal. Tellingly, the Society for the Protection of Children was founded only 60 years later and has the status of a national one, which is no longer so prestigious.

16. But at the same time, traditional fox hunting is still taking place in England. The British love their traditions more than animals.

17. Although you may encounter stray animals, especially at night, they will be ill-fated foxes. Even in the center of London they can be seen very often. Glitter with a green eye and snoop into the bushes. Sometimes they jump right out from under the wheels of a bicycle in the late dark evening; They live in parks, of which there are a huge number in London. Often climb into houses and can be quite dangerous. At night, foxes make very specific cries, as if they are cutting a baby.

18. From domestic pests, bugs and mice are found here. There are no cockroaches, just as there are no mosquitoes. You can also easily run into a false black widow. This is such a spider, it can be dangerous and poisonous if it bites.

19. In the parks there are squirrels in huge quantities, they are all almost tame. Squirrels are all gray and quite plump, I would even say muscular. Once there were also red squirrels, but the gray ones killed them, now red squirrels are protected by the state. There are swans, many different interesting birds. By the way, all the Thames swans are legally the property of the Queen.

20. In parks, you can often see benches with name plates installed in memory of a deceased relative or friend. Sometimes the signatures are an example of purely English irony, as is the case in the photo. "In memory of the husband whom I dreamed about, thought about, but he was never found"

25. Britain has a huge number of regional accents, dialects and dialects. Accents can differ within the boundaries of one city, and even more so county. English in the former colonies is sometimes very different from British English, and not only in pronunciation.

26. The British feel a little guilty that almost everyone knows English, and the English themselves are not strong in foreign languages. Therefore, they will always praise an English foreigner. Many Russian speakers immediately begin to swagger, saying that the British themselves noticed that I speak almost without an accent. It has little to do with reality. It's just a polite compliment to a foreigner's ability to link words into sentences. In fact, I almost never met Russian speakers who moved as adults who have excellent pronunciation ... although no, Berezovsky's first wife has excellent pronunciation

27. The Scots, Welsh and Irish are very proud of their roots and nationality. Do not try to call an Irishman or a Scot an Englishman or even a Briton - they will be terribly offended.

28. In Britain there is no concept of provinciality in the Russian sense of the word. It is not considered cool to be a native Londoner or a native Edinburghian here. Historically, all the nobility lived on estates. Those who had to work lived in large cities, the need to work was always despised by the English nobility. But if you grew up in your house with a lot of land, then yes - this is a class. Certain regions are considered provincial here, for example, the north of England, historically the Irish are considered rednecks, because the British essentially staged a mass genocide of the Irish, so the elite created a certain snobbish attitude towards them, which is still alive. New Zealanders who came in large numbers are considered provincials

29. Britain has no constitution

30. Big Ben is actually the name of a bell, not a clock.

31. The concept of a yard is not here, because in urban development there is no city yard in the Russian sense, urban planning is planned differently. There is the concept of estate or neighborhood, i.e. area.

32. In English cities, everything is very compact, the streets and sidewalks are narrow, houses and apartments are quite small. There are for example standard houses with 4 rooms of only 56 square meters. I call such apartments and houses mittens.

33. All land is private. There is no concept of "giving up on kebabs on nature", because all nature is divided into private plots, except for protected areas and parks. There are certain camping sites that you have to pay for, and places for barbecues and picnics.

34. There is no registration in Britain, but without a bank account and a card, almost nothing can be done here, much less live legally. The place of residence is determined by bills that are paid through a bank account. All bills are proof that you have lived here and may be needed for various bureaucratic needs. Therefore, a resident of Britain has a lot of waste paper at home from paper utility bills, pay slips and the like, I already have two weighty folders.

35. If Moscow never sleeps, then London sleeps and how, I would say that it’s just sleeping. Pubs are open until 11, on weekends up to 2. There are no 24-hour restaurants, just as there are no 24-hour coffee shops. There are only fast food eateries that are open at night on weekends, the so-called take-aways, where people flock to refuel after energy-intensive club parties. In the city center on weekends, just mountains of garbage

36. By the way, chips in English are french fries, not chips, but crisps are just chips in bags

37. In broad daylight in various places in London, you can see people smoking weed, and if you don’t see it, then feel it keenly. Few people care or care. In fact, there are a huge number of quiet herbal addicts.

38. Some believe that the British are all music lovers and certainly do not listen to any cheap pop music. The percentage of music lovers here is the same as in Russia, and there is a sea of pop music lovers

39. The working class in Russia loves to vacation in Turkey and Egypt, and the working class in England is very fond of Spain and Eastern Europe. The British "Tagil" rests there sometimes cooler than ours in Egypt.

40. The British constantly say sorry-sorry-thank-please, even if they are not at fault. The Englishman will apologize if you accidentally step on his foot. Do not flatter yourself and think that this is sincere. In fact, the Englishman will say sorry to the table if he accidentally touches him, these words are already more of an interjection than a sincere apology.

STUDY PROCESS

I. Introduction

Children look at pictures with images of clouds (“sad”, “fun”, etc.).

Teacher. Guys, look at the clouds that meet us today. What mood is the first cloud?

Children. Sad.

Teacher. Depict the same expression with facial expressions.

The children are doing the task.

The teacher asks to name the mood, emotion of all the clouds in the drawings and show these expressions with facial expressions. The children are doing the task.

Now let's smile at each other. We are in a good mood and we can go on our way. Clouds met us not by chance!

Listen to the poem.

Tearing shreds of fog,

It arises from the sea...

Not noticing gray-haired centuries,

Foggy Albion rises.

So England is sometimes called
For a strict impregnable look.
With misty beauty

She invites guests...

The English Queen's dominion,

Big Ben important chime.

And London, reflected in the Thames,

Dissolved in a transparent haze...

Guardsmen fur hats,

And the mighty lion on the coats of arms,

And the strength of the white-red rose -

Here are the symbols on the islands.

II. Main part

Teacher. You understand that our today's trip is to England or, more precisely, to Great Britain. It is located in the British Isles, surrounded on all sides by water, separated from the mainland by the English Channel.

The teacher shows England on the map.

Perhaps that is why the weather changes so often there, it is drizzling ... Why is England called "foggy Albion"? This is due to the famous English fogs, and also to the fact that the first thing that sailors saw when they discovered the British V a, - huge light rocks that appeared from the sea waves and spray. We can say that fog is an unofficial symbol of England. Imagine that the fog is so thick that you can hardly see anything. What was not visible?

Children. Mountains, lakes, rivers, forests, fields, meadows were no longer visible.

Educator: In the poem you heard the words "London", "Thames". What is this?

If the children find it difficult, then the teacher reminds that London is the capital of England, and the Thames is the river on which this city stands. British Queen Elizabeth P.

The British are very fond of growing garden flowers. Daisies, bluebells, buttercups, clover grow on the British Isles - almost all the flowers that are found in Central Russia.

The teacher demonstrates pictures of wild and garden flowers or artificial flowers.

Let's collect two bouquets: put garden flowers in one vase, and meadow (field) flowers in the other.

Children come to a table with vases and flowers and make bouquets.

Yes, guys, we got beautiful bouquets. If fog is an unofficial symbol of England, then what are its official symbols?

Children. Flag, coat of arms, anthem.

Teacher. In a bouquet of garden flowers - a red rose. It serves as the unofficial flower symbol of England, and not only because this flower is very beautiful. In ancient times, representatives of two noble families fought for the English throne. The symbol of one kind was a white rose, and the other - a red one. As a result, the representative of the genus "red rose" won. Sitting on the throne of England, he proclaimed the red rose the symbol of the country. True, in order not to detract from the significance of another kind, the middle and stamens of the red rose were left white, i.e. it is not actually red, but red and white. The white stamens are closer to the base, symbolizing the base, and the red petals are further from the base, symbolizing the victory of one of the genera.

Breathing exercise "Rose"

Teacher. Let's smell the beautiful rose.

The breathing exercise is performed while standing. First, the children take a deep breath with their nose, without raising their shoulders, as if they are smelling a rose, trying to draw in all its aroma, then they exhale as much as possible through their mouths.

Since there are a lot of sports that originated in England, the teacher can choose as many stories as he sees fit.

Sport occupies an important place in the life of the British. England is the birthplace of many sports: boxing, football, tennis, golf, polo, badminton, rugby. A little about the history of these sports.

Football - by far the most popular sport. The British play it everywhere: in parks, children's and sports grounds. The name "football" comes from two words: "foot" - leg and "bol" - ball. In the old days in England, this game was a fight for the ball in the streets. The authorities waged a stubborn war on football. Even royal orders were issued to ban the game. And later, when the rules were developed, football became an organized popular game (which conquered the whole world. On what site is football played? What equipment is needed?

The teacher shows a picture of a football field. The children answer.

Today there is also women's football. What are these athletes called?

Children. Football players.

Teacher. In England, there was also such a sport as badminton. One duke returned from a trip to India to his estate, which was called Badminton, and brought rackets and a shuttlecock. It was India, the colony of Britain, that this game was popular. From the name of the estate came the name of the game - badminton. Later, the rules of the game were invented.

Another popular sport is golf. There is a legend that a shepherd wandered through the fields, hit a round stone with a stick and accidentally rolled it down a rabbit hole. He was then joined by other shepherds who enjoyed the new game. Later, stones were replaced with balls, rabbit holes were replaced with holes, and clubs were used instead of sticks.

Another exciting sport polo, who came to England in the 19th century. from India. This is a team game. Its participants ride horses with special clubs and try to score goals with the ball into the opponent's goal. Polo is considered a special sport, as it involves complex equipment, and you also need to have your own horse. Therefore, not everyone can practice this sport. What ground is polo played on? What equipment is needed?

The teacher shows a picture of a polo game. The children answer.

Mentions about the game, which now bears the name "tennis", found in the Middle Ages. It was played both in the halls and in the open air with leather balls, which were stuffed with sawdust, rags, and grass. Then came rubber balls. What are the balls according to the material?

Children. The balls were made of leather - leather, from rags - rag rubber - rubber, from grass - herbal.

Teacher. At first, the ball was beaten off not with rackets, but with a hand on which a mitten was worn. The inhabitants of England were the first to use a racket. It was they who called the sport "tennis". Let's remember what the tennis court is called, what equipment is needed, what form the players are in, what the athlete and athlete playing tennis are called.

The teacher shows a picture of a court, a tennis player and a tennis player.

Children. The site is called a court, you need a net, rackets, balls Form of men - shorts and a T-shirt, women - a skirt and a T-shirt. Athlete - tennis player, sportswoman - tennis player.

Teacher. Table tennis - ping-pong - a purely English invention, not Chinese, as many people think. It's just that this game has become very popular in China. In the old days, the English nobility played tennis under awnings on tables.

England is also home boxing a. At first it was just a fistfight with elements of wrestling - a very dangerous and scary sight. They fought without gloves, with bare hands. Later, certain rules were introduced, and modern boxing arose. Let's remember what the athletes are called, on what platform they perform, what equipment, what uniforms are needed.

The teacher shows pictures with images of the ring, boxer. The children are doing the task.

Another unusual sport that originated in the Middle Ages in England is cricket. Its name goes back to the word "stick". Presumably, cricket originated from such old games as "stick and ball", "bat and ball" and "trap and ball". This is a sports team game (11 people in each team) with a ball and bats on an oval-shaped grass field. The game originated in pastures:

For sheep, where there was low grass, on which it was convenient to roll the ball. It was made from wool or old rags. They defended the gate with a shepherd's stick. The goal of the game is to destroy the opponent's goal with the ball. Cricket is a summer sport, but competitions are now also held in winter, with players dressed in white suits in any weather.

In the English city of Rugby, the sport of the same name originated - rugby . This is a team sport. Two teams compete, each of which is represented by fifteen players.

The teacher shows pictures of the game of rugby.

The game is played on a rectangular grass field. The ball for the game and rugby has an oval shape. It is sewn from four plates, the player's kit includes a rugby T-shirt, shorts, socks and studded boots so that the athlete's foot does not slip. Athletes can use additional equipment: a helmet that protects the head, elastic pads on the shoulders, shields or legs to prevent injuries.

Drawing up a story according to the basic schemes

Plasticetude "Athletes"

Teacher. Imagine that you are athletes.

Children agree among themselves who will portray the athletes, and who will guess. 1-2 children show the characteristic movements of athletes, and the rest guess.

By doing sports, you can also refresh yourself. Let's talk about the traditions of the British in food. English cuisine- solid simple and nutritious.

The British love a good breakfast. It may consist of oatmeal, scrambled eggs and bacon, fried fish toast with jam, tea or coffee. The daily meal is called "lunch". On weekdays, meat stew, fried fish, chops, liver, sausages, and vegetables can be served. Rice and pasta are rarely eaten by the British. Dessert is apple pie or hot milk pudding.

Oatmeal, roast beef, muffins (but not pizza!) -

This is the cuisine that the English are proud of.

Meet the guests by five o'clock,

To drink your tea with pudding.

Time to drink tea: the tradition of "Five o'clock Tea"

The British are very fond of tea. From 4:00 to 6:00 p.m., it's time for the traditional tea party - “fife-o-klok”, i.e. "five o'clock tea". We also organize tea parties. This will require cups. Find the same cups in the picture.

Children in the picture find the same cups.

Guys, what can tea be like in terms of its qualities and properties? Let's choose opposite words.

Teacher. The most interesting question in English tea drinking is: "Tea into milk or milk into tea?" According to an old tradition, milk is first poured into a cup, and then brewed tea.

Speaking about the culinary traditions of the British, one cannot but recall the pudding. This is a classic English delicacy: a dessert of eggs, sugar, milk and flour, cooked in a water bath. Fruit or spices are added to the pudding. In the old days, puddings were made from the remains of other dishes, which were put together and poured, for example, with fat or an egg. For sweet puddings that are served for dessert, the filling is usually an egg with milk.

Lots of puddings. Let's see what they are. Semolina Pudding - semolina, from oats - oat, from rice - rice, from cottage cheese - curd, from berries - berry, with vanilla - vanilla, from eggs - egg, from coconut - coconut, from corn - corn, from milk- lactic, with lemon- whether monny , with coffee - coffee, with nuts - walnut, from carrots - carrot, from apples - apple.

So we refreshed ourselves. It's time to go. interesting feature of England - left-hand traffic.

The teacher shows pictures.

It is said that this direction of movement developed in England because the ancient warriors held weapons in their right hands. In the event of a meeting with the enemy, it was more convenient for them to be on the left side of the road.

The teacher distributes pictures to the children. You need to draw a line on them - a path in the direction of which the car will go in England and in Russia.

Dynamic pause

Children take toy steering wheels and go to the center of the group. Shows how transport moves in England and in Russia.

III. Final part

Teacher. Guys, our journey through England will continue. We will visit many more interesting places. On the way, we will need an umbrella, because the weather in England is changeable: it often rains and fogs are observed, but there are no severe frosts. It is not surprising that the umbrella has become the most popular item in this country: the weather changes from hour to hour.

The teacher distributes blanks - paper umbrellas, colored pencils. Children color them.

I. Introduction

Teacher. Guys, today we are waiting for another trip. And where we will go, you will understand by guessing the riddle.

The teacher shows pictures of a red rose, a red telephone booth, a panda, a red double-decker bus. Children find an extra picture and explain why they chose it.

Children. All other items are red, they are associated with England.

Teacher. That's right, but now we will go to the capital of Great Britain - London, the symbols of which are the red bus and telephone booth. So, imagine that we are sitting in a double-decker bus and starting a tour of London.

P. Main body

The teacher shows pictures or slides of London sights. The material is intended for preschoolers, so the story is introductory, not very detailed, conveying the atmosphere of the city.

Teacher. So, we will see the Palace of Westminster, the building of the English Parliament. The Clock Tower of the Palace of Westminster is London's most famous landmark. On the clock of this tower is Big Ben - the largest bell of the palace. It is he who beats the time every hour. The clock in the Clock Tower of the Palace of Westminster is reminiscent of the Kremlin chimes on the Spasskaya Tower in Moscow. We will see Trafalgar Square, the London National Gallery, the Tower, which was both a palace and a fortress, and a repository of royal jewels, weapons, and a prison, Tower Bridge over the River Thames (the largest drawbridge, its two wings are raised by a special device when a ship passes through river), Buckingham Palace - the residence of the British monarchs.

To move around London faster, we will change to the tube. By the way, the world's first subway line, or as it is called in England - the underground, 6 km long was built in London back in the 19th century. Few people know that the word "metro" was invented by the British.

The thing is that the company that was building the underground railway in London was called the Metropolitan Railway. Therefore, at first, the inhabitants of Great Britain called the subway “metropolitan”, and then shortened it to “metro”. Unlike other countries, this name did not take root in England. Today, Londoners prefer to call the underground "tube" ("pipe") or "underground" ("underground").

On the subway train, pictures will travel with us. In the first car, those in the name of which the given sound is at the beginning of the word, in the last - those in whose name it is at the end, in the middle - in the name of which this sound is in the middle of the word.

The teacher places a cardboard subway train with pockets on the board. Gives out; children pictures with the sound, the place of which in the word must be determined. What this sound will be, the teacher decides on his own. For example, pictures with sound [s] are offered: in the first car there is dog, average - scales, in the last - forest.

In London, on Baker Street, there is an interesting museum. Everything that is presented in it belongs to a non-existent person - Sherlock Holmes, a brilliant detective, a literary character of the English writer Conan Doyle. Holmes had an unusual mind and logic, which helped him unravel complex crimes. And today we will develop such qualities in ourselves.

The London Zoo is one of the largest and oldest zoos in the world, allowing scientists to engage in research activities. For some time he was under reconstruction, the purpose of which was to build enclosures that recreate the natural habitat, so that the animals feel more comfortable. For example, a giant island has appeared on the site of old monkey enclosures, which has become a habitat for gorillas.

Who is not here! Animals and birds of Africa, reptiles, including lizards, turtles, crocodiles, snakes, butterflies, fish.

The story is accompanied by a display of pictures or slides.

We will not only look at the inhabitants of the zoo, but also develop attention and thinking.

The teacher gives the children pictures of birds, insects and animals.

Look at the pictures: the inhabitants of the zoo fled. We will help scientists to distribute them among the pavilions. Circle all the insects, the birds with an oval, and the animals with a square.

The teacher shows the children pictures depicting parts of the body of animals (the head of a lion, a crocodile, a penguin, an elephant's tail, an ostrich's paws, etc.).

Find all the animals and birds in the picture and say which body parts you see.

Children. elephant tail - elephantine tail, head of a crocodile - crocodile head, penguin head - penguin head...

Teacher. So we practiced and became as attentive, insightful and smart as Sherlock Holmes. But it's time to move on.

The famous London is wax museum Madame Tussauds. In his collection there are figures of thousands of great people from all over the world: famous writers, artists, musicians, actors, athletes, politicians. All of them are made of wax and are very similar to their prototypes. Such talented and skillful craftsmen make them. And we'll play a game.

Game "Guess what it is"

Children stand in a circle. One child comes to its center and shows some animal or inanimate object, and the rest must guess who or what he depicts.

Teacher. London is also the sports capital. There are many sports facilities and playgrounds here. What sports fields do you know?

Children. Stadium, court, skating rink, rowing canal, football field.

Teacher. London is the champion of the Olympic Games. They have been held here three times, the last time in the summer of 2012. What summer sports do you know?

The children answer.

Athletes' award - medals. So we will have unusual medals with which we will play.

Game "Medals"

The teacher chooses words with consonants that are already familiar to children. Option 1

Children are awarded blue and green medals with numbers. I need to come up with a word with a sound (solid - blue or soft - green) with a certain number of syllables in accordance with the numbers on the medal and its color. For example, work is carried out with the sounds [n] and [n "]. A child who has a green medal with the number 1 calls the word "feast", a child who has a green medal with the number 2 "pirate" - the word "train". Etc.

Option 2 (mobile game)

Children are randomly divided into two teams - "blue" and "green", put on blue and green elastic bands on their hands. The teams line up. At the signal of the teacher, the participants begin to run to the tables on which there are pictures with a soft or hard sound, for example: [p], [p "], [l], [l"], etc. Each child chooses a picture with exactly the sound (soft or hard) that corresponds to his command, and quickly returns back.

The team that completes the task faster wins. Teams present their pictures, the rest check the correctness of the assignments. Each member of the team counts the syllables in the word-name of the picture, and the teacher “rewards” the participants with a suitable medal. For example, if a child has a picture of a rocket (we are talking about the sounds [r] and [r "]), then he is awarded a blue medal with the number "1", and if with a picture of a turnip - a green medal with the number "2", etc. d.

Teacher. You can also visit the Natural History Museum, which shows the evolution of living beings, starting with dinosaurs, go to the Royal Botanic Gardens.

Skyscraper with an unusual name Saint Mary Ax, 30 has an unusual mesh design. Decorated with green glass and having an oblong shape, the building was called "Cucumber". The height of the building is 180 m. The skyscraper is considered one of the most environmentally friendly buildings in the world. Due to the unique shape, the building casts less shade and more sunlight enters the lower floors. To remember the unique shape of this structure, we will circle the drawing in dots.

The teacher distributes to the children pictures with a dotted image of the Cucumber tower and pencils. Children circle the drawing.

So, we have seen almost all the sights of London, and now we will not deny ourselves the pleasure of looking at the city from a height and visiting the London Eye - the highest Ferris wheel in Europe. Let's make binoculars out of our palms, look around and tell what we see, what we admire.

Children make "binoculars" and list the sights of London, forming accusative and instrumental cases.

Children. I see the zoo, admire the zoo. I see the museum, admire the museum...

III. Final part

Educator: Traditionally, it is customary to bring souvenirs from each trip - as a keepsake, as a gift to friends or relatives. We will make magnets with symbols of London.

Children stick magnets on blanks of cardboard telephone booths and red buses.
